1、 Breeding method

1. Light: Magnolia flowers need to receive sufficient light. Although it is resistant to semi Yin, a long-term lack of light will lead to various diseases. At the same time, avoid being exposed to the sun. In summer, you can move to the place exposed to astigmatism

2. Soil: Magnolia has no special requirements for soil, as long as it ensures good drainage. In addition, the soft and fertile soil is conducive to its roots to absorb nutrients and make it thrive

3. Watering: the water demand of magnolia flower varies from season to season. Water less in winter and keep the soil moist. More water should be poured in spring, once in the morning and once in the evening, and the water volume should be increased in the peak growth season. Water evaporates quickly in summer, so you should also water more

4. Fertilization: more fertilizer can be applied to magnolia flower. First, the base fertilizer should be sufficient. Generally, animal manure or bean cake are selected. The second is to apply liquid fertilizer every 15 days. Apply concentrated fertilizer before germination, but stop fertilizer at flowering, and continue to apply liquid fertilizer after flowering. After winter, apply rotten organic fertilizer again

2、 Reproductive skills

Magnolia can be propagated by sowing, branching, cutting, layering and grafting. Cutting is commonly used, and the survival rate is very high. The branches with strong growth shall be selected as cuttings, and the cut shall be stained with plant ash to prevent decay, and then the cuttings shall be cut in the soil. The temperature should be controlled at 20-25 degrees, and the matrix can be kept wet

3、 Pest control

1. Diseases: powdery mildew, black spot and anthrax are common. They usually cause plant diseases due to poor ventilation or insufficient light. It is necessary to cut off the diseased branches and leaves and spray them with pesticides

2. Insect pests: common pests include beetles, aphids and scale insects. The pests can be removed manually first, and then sprayed with pesticides to eliminate nymphs
